Default playing EA Sports w/o nVidia or ATI chipset

So somebody gave me one of those EA Sports 06 packs for PC as a gift - the one with like 5 games on it. Both my PCs have Intel graphics cards (because I don't really play video games) and when I try to run the games I can't. Graphics card can't be initialized properly.

All drivers up to date. Anybody else ever have this problem and find a workaround?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, thought there might be some folks here with more specific experience than CTH.

Check the requirements for the games, I imagine it's higher than integrated Intel graphics if you want it to be playable.

Some PC games simply won't work with an integrated graphics chip set.

You'd have to go pick up a card. Integrated graphics aren't going to run much. You can get a decent card for around $50.
